Microcharts Overview
ganapativs/microcharts provides MCP tools for selecting, configuring, and rendering word-sized charts from the microcharts library. It ranks chart types for a natural-language question, returns wiring details and sample props, then produces validated SVG with generated alt text. The local stdio server runs through npx and returns self-contained output suitable for chat surfaces that cannot run React. Reach for it when an agent needs compact sparklines, bars, bullets, or other microcharts without sending data to a hosted service.
Primary Use Cases for Microcharts:
- Find a chart type from a plain-language analytical question
- Render compact trends in chat interfaces without React
- Generate accessible SVG charts with descriptive summaries
- Inspect chart props and samples before wiring a visualization
